AHAHAHA

Pursuant to my last post, I totally brought home some of everything except the brownies and baklava and yet everyone went home well-fed and relatively happy. I decree success!

I took over as snacks coordinator for my choir this year, and as such, duty for the first rehearsal falls on me. I guess technically I could get someone to help? But that literally didn't occur to me until this afternoon, even though snack duty is usually split between two people. Oh well. As of now, the menu is:

• baklava
• brownies (homemade)
• chocolate- ( Read more... )

You know how people say everyone's nicer in Canada? Yeah, that's definitely true. When we were in Pittsburgh, we frequented a chocolate shop, where I purchased some Earl Grey dark chocolate by Jelina Chocolatier that is hands-down some of the best chocolate I have ever had. They're a Canadian company, don't ship to the US from their website, and I ( Read more... )

So I have anxiety - this is probably not news to most of you (if it is, and you want to know more, you can check out the anxiety/depression tag). Anyway. Things have been relatively stable lately anxiety- and depression-wise; I had a series of incredibly bad days that happened to coincide with everything in the house going wrong, small wonder. It's ( Read more... )

So I was at the liquor store this evening, buying wine, and I'm browsing the shelves looking for a decent Cabernet, and all of a sudden I see a woman say to one of the employees: "Where's your Mogen Davids ( Read more... )

Loved tonight's White Collar in general; I missed the first five minutes, so I suspect I'll have to re-watch it to catch all the nuance. I also both love and hate how they refused to namedrop Crane as the paper manufacturer of the US dollar - love it because of course everyone knows Crane makes the paper for US currency, so there's no need to ( Read more... )

 So yesterday morning I had a bit of a throat tickle and by last night I was coughing up phlegm and ached all over. Called out of work and spent today hacking up a lung and watching White Castle Collar, a new addiction for which I entirely blame copperbadge.  (This is also how I got into Doctor Who and Torchwood, by the way; he started writing fic about them ( Read more... )

Shana Tovah, you guys! Apples and challah and sausage for dinner tonight. :)

In semi-related news, today is 09/18/09. I am kind of really excited for eighteen years from now when it's 09/18/27. Ten bucks says I'm not even going to remember to be excited when it actually happens.

Clearly my faux pas re: the job title didn't hurt my chances very much; I'm interviewing at my old job on Tuesday morning. Evidently the persons in charge of hiring (read: the editors) were "favorably impressed by [my] application" which has got to be one of my favorite phrases ever. (Things higher on the list include "You're hired," which I have ( Read more... )

84 degrees in my room. Air-conditioning supposed to be on tonight. Please note: it is not.

quick note: Hannah's wedding a success. Amy and I survived, and then we got drunk. Less drunk than we usually get, actually. Clearly we will have to make up for that sometime. Amusing sidenote: she and I have hilariously different tastes in drinks. Only drink ( Read more... )
